The Partners Conference

In 2024, the theme of the partners' meeting was the question of time and how it interacts with the strategy of associations and the implementation of their projects.

Many scientists, philosophers, historians and sociologists have taken an interest in this subject. All these disciplines have come to the same conclusion: it's the way we perceive time that determines how we use it and the problems it can pose. Our relationship with time has thus evolved over the course of history, and it also varies according to culture and environment.

Finally, the contemporary world seems to be characterized by an acceleration of time, driving us to act with urgency and in the short term. Yet history, strategy and foresight teach us that structural and societal transformations take time to build.

So how can we better articulate action between these different timeframes? How can we act in the short term, while taking into account the long term and the perspective of the future? How can we rethink our relationship with time to better contribute to human development? And how can we build the right relationship with time for ourselves and our organization, so that time is no longer the “unattainable” enemy we chase after, but an ally at the service of project impact?

How can we better articulate action between these different temporalities? How can we act in the short term, while taking into account the long term and the perspective of the future? How can we rethink our relationship with time to better contribute to human development? And how can we build the right relationship with time for ourselves and our organization, so that time is no longer the “unattainable” enemy we chase after, but an ally at the service of project impact?

To address these questions, the first round table examined our relationship with time and the major issues facing associations.  The second round table heard from association leaders about their relationship with time, the successes they've seen and the difficulties they've encountered, with a view to initiating a collective reflection on best practices and attitudes that enable better use and management of time to contribute to human development in the short and long term. In the afternoon, we delved deeper into the theme with masterclasses on two key topics: time for foresight and time in balance.

La Fondation Pierre Bellon a été ravie de réunir l'ensemble de ses associations partenaires lors de la 8ème édition de la Rencontre des Partenaires, le 9 octobre 2024 aux Yachts de Paris.
Cette année, nous nous sommes retrouvés autour de la thématique « Temps et développement humain : revisiter notre relation au temps ».

La journée a débuté par une table ronde, animée par Franck Pruvost, autour des enjeux cachés derrière nos problèmes de temps et comment réinvestir positivement notre rapport au temps dans un monde en accélération.
Avec les interventions de : 
- Mathieu Baudin de l'Institut des Futurs Souhaitables
- Geneviève Férone-Creuzet de l'entreprise à mission Prophil
- Thibaut de Saint-Maurice de l'Université Paris Panthéon Sorbonne

Dans une seconde table ronde animée par Olivier Lenoir, nous avons également pu avoir les retours d’expériences d’associations partenaires, avec les témoignages de Christelle Bitouzet de l'association Sipar, Jérôme Aucordier de l'association Le Colibri et Jules Sire de l'association Rebonds!

L’après-midi, deux masterclass ont été proposées :
- « Explorer les futurs pour faire de nos rêves une stratégie», animée par Martin Serralta de l'Institut des Futurs Souhaitables
- « Le temps en équilibre », animée par Sandra Fillaudeau de Conscious Culture

La Cour des Contes a proposé une animation artistique tout au long de la journée. 

La Fondation Pierre Bellon remercie chaleureusement l’ensemble des intervenants, des participants, des animateurs et des prestataires de la journée (Osons +, Les Yachts de Paris, Anne Guérin, Aurélie Gurdal, Frédéric Berthet, Franck Pruvost, La Cour des Contes, Ubiqus).

Faced with the complexity and uncertainty of today's world, we need to change the way we think about strategy.

In this context, how is vision necessary to initiate and develop a project? What role does this vision play at different stages in the life of an association? How do you share it and keep it alive in your organization? But also how do you adjust it to changes in society and the environment, as well as to the various constraints that force us to constantly adapt?

Listening is not something that is innate and simple. The term listening goes far beyond our auditory abilities and covers other dimensions, which are learned and developed. True listening is based on creating a relationship of trust, adopting a posture of openness, non-judgment, accepting silences and not giving answers...

The issue of listening was addressed on an individual and collective level and the associations recognized the importance of listening both internally and externally to their various stakeholders.

We invited experts and all our partners to share their experiences and points of view on this subject. They were able to reflect together on the best ways to act within organizations in order to find adapted and concrete answers that would allow associations to adopt a posture of active and deep listening.

The role of the family in the broadest sense of the term is decisive in the human development of the younger generations. Numerous studies show, for example, the decisive influence of the function and practices of parents on the academic success of their children. At the same time, many parents testify to the difficulties of their educational mission and the cost of family failures is very heavy from all points of view.

Faced with this challenge, the associations had to reflect on how to concretely create a solid educational alliance between parents and the actors of human development, in order to promote the success of children and youth.

We invited experts and all our partners to share their experiences and views on this topic. They were able to reflect together on the best ways to act within organizations in order to find the most innovative answers that would allow associations to better and more involved parents in the realization and success of projects.

How can human development be evaluated?
Does the evaluation really reflect reality?
How can we make the evaluation of human development a useful, or more useful, tool?
We invited our partners to share their thoughts, experiences, practices, needs and expectations in this regard so that, together, we can solutions for tomorrow.
